The storm which set in last Thurs
day was the most severe known in
this section for years. Trains were
delayed in all directions, and railroad
ing was anything but pleasant. No
mail was received at this place for
two days. The northern stage had
hard work of it and did not venture
out at all Monday so badly were the
roads drifted. Take it altogether it
exceeds . the memory Of the oldest
inhabitant."
Mrs. A. L. Noyes arrived from Cali
fornia with the remains of her hus-

filed by large and sympathetic audi

sisted by Rev. E. J. Ward. The
singing, which was very fine, was rem
dered by the choir of the Morrisville
Universalist church. The bearers
were Mr.. Noyes' brothers, Henry,
Ned and Barber and his brother-in-

present in memory and expression of
their esteem to him.
We take the following from the
ADericdu Iraveler and Tourist, a |
magazine, published at Chicago. Mrs.
Wood the writer of the poem is the
wife of VIM. G.. Wood, well known in
this county and the bride referred to
is the daughter of Mrs. Belle Mars
ton and a niece of Mrs. Geo. L. Wat
erman -
A very bright pOetical conceit was
that produced by Mrs. William G.
Wood, of Chicago, upon the marriage of
Mr.. Preston King, and Miss Josephine |
Florence Marrs, of Minneapolis, Febru-
airy End, 1887.
In the land where mOrtalS dwell,
Came time in the latter days,
When the gods dared StoOp and men aSpired, |
Till they mingled their work and ways.
And only vision clear
Could distinguish gods from men,
For Apollo sat in the public mart,
And Mercury welded pen.
A daughter of Dfdr(1)s appeared,
She was tall and divinely fair,
The name OF an empress on her brow,
And nobility written there.
Though she walked with mortal maids,
And like unto them she grew,
When the real King wooing came,
The goddess he quickly knew.
